Justice as Attunement (eBook, ePUB)

Transforming Constitutions in Law, Literature, Economics and the Rest of Life

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Justice as Attunement demonstrates that to engage in the activity of attunement to the meaning of a text is to learn to do justice to ourselves and to others. This book highlights the transforming constitutions across the range of human relations and the place of justice as relevant to one and all: for, as Richard Dawson suggests, the root of justice is intertwined with constituting appropriate selves and relations.

A thoroughly-researched, interdisciplinary study, Justice as Attunement is an invaluable resource for any student or scholar of Law, Literature, Economics, and Philosophy, and indeed expertly illuminates the many useful and fascinating connections between these subjects.
